* Baby killing witch of Albania

In the early twentieth century, there was an outburst of unexplained infant deaths in Albania. At the time little was known about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and in this undeveloped country, the finger was immediately pointed at the shtriga.

In Albanian folklore the shtriga is a vampiric witch which sucks the blood of infants during the night. Afte she has had her fill, she would then turn into a small flying insect (typically a moth, bee or fly) and make her escape.
